Synezoma is VCFA's full-residency MFA in Writing and Publishing's student-run publication. We tend toward opening up the idea of genre, appreciating blurred lines, Like a rhizome, we seek to stay rooted, but spread wildly into a beautiful, heaping mess, wet and alive with action. We seek to demolish fences, reconstruct the broken, and venture into new avenues of thought. While our content has no limitations stylistically or thematically, we tend to focus on the bizarre, the colorful, the fanciful, and the jarring. Each piece in our journal will join hands with its neighbor to sing, but will also turn its back and go its own way into the dusky forest. For our inaugural issue, we are especially interested in collaborations, studies of color and synesthesia (in the oblique sense), genre-benders, and works based in processes of ekphrasis. All forms and genres of writing and visual art will be considered and may be sent to [email protected]. Photography, drawings, paintings, visual poetry, graphic elements, and any other images should be in .tiff or .jpg format and have at least 300 DPI.
